AW19 Beauty Trends: Catwalk Looks

I know, I know, it hardly even feels like spring yet, and I’m already trying to tell you about autumn! But the AW19 shows are all wrapped up in New York, London, Milan and Paris, so now is the perfect time to get to grips with next season’s trends so that you can stay ahead of the game. And some of them are so gorgeous you won’t want to wait to try them…

The AW19 catwalk shows have wrapped, so it’s time to round-up the most beautiful makeup looks from the shows and pick out the trends we’ll all be talking about come autumn. I love seeing what my fellow makeup artists are coming up with backstage, and this season didn’t disappoint. Amongst my favourites were the block colour lids at Carolina Herrera, Tom Pecheaux’s fun 80s vibe at Moschino and Pat McGrath’s gothic vibe at Versace.

FUN WITH COLOUR

There was festival makeup inspiration aplenty at Manish, where Mac makeup artist Kabuki was channelling Burning Man beauty with neon lashes in pink, orange and green. One for the bold! At Mugler AW19, meanwhile, makeup artist Inge Grognard brought the 80s back with block blue eyeshadow that will also be a fun festival look. Makeup artist Romy Soleimani also brought colour to the catwalk at Carolina Herrera with neon coral lids.

ALL THAT GLITTERS

‘Leftover makeup’ was the inspiration at Dries Van Noten for makeup artist Peter Philips, who created a statement look using gold, silver and coloured glitter flecked across lids and lashes. Meanwhile at Gucci, makeup artist Thomas de Kluyver added sparkle to dramatic effect with crystallised tears on model’s cheeks. At Vivienne Westwood amongst an array of statement looks were airbrushed gold faces, while Isamaya Ffrench created statement eyes at Haplern using cracked gold leaf. The real glitter show-stopper could be found at Rodarte, where makeup artist James Kaliardos used Nars to create pink and red glitter lids and lips.

VELVET SKIN

Smooth, semi-matte skin was high on the agenda for AW19, with Pat McGrath creating a soft, polished complexion with bleached brows at Burberry and Lucia Pieroni adding glossy eyes to polished, slightly glowing skin at Christopher Kane.

BERRY LIPS

What is AW without a berry lip?! This seasonal classic was given a reboot by Tom Pecheaux for MAC at Oscar de la Renta, where it was worn blurry and against glowing, natural skin. At Versace meanwhile, Pat McGrath teamed pale, muted skin and blood red lips for a gorgeous gothic beauty vibe.
